Until now, there has been no answer to the question of whether specialized glial cells exist in the nervous system of platyhelminths. The identification of these cells in parasitic flatworms is difficult due to their organization as parenchymal animals. The goal of this study was to reveal and...
Glial elements in the central nervous system of Eisenia fetida were studied at light- and electron microscopic level. Cells were characterized with the aid of toluidine blue, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), S100 staining. We identified neurilemmal-, subneurilemmal-, supporting-nutrifying-...
Single ion channel currents in neuropile glial cells of the leech central nervous system The patch-clamp technique was used to investigate the activity of single ion channels in neuropile glial (NG) cells in the central nervous system (CNS) of ... M Müller,W Hanke,WR Schlue - 《Glia》...
In their study, published inNaturetoday, researchers studied the role of enteric glial cells in response to tissue damage. These cells lie within the gut wall and form part of the enteric nervous system which governs the contractions of intestinal muscles and other aspects of digestive function. ...
The function of glial cells as active modulators of the speed and, in particular, the precision of stimulus conduction, has not previously been described. "What our research makes clear is the role played by glialcellsas active components in the nervous system," says Christian Klämbt, summing...
Glial cells are the most abundant cells in the human brain and have long been considered as passive supporting cells for neurons. In contrast to the extensive studies on various neuronal functions in the nervous system, we still have limited knowledge about glial cells. Recently a number of pion...
Nervous systems of bilaterian animals generally consist of two cell types: neurons and glial cells. Despite accumulating data about the many important func
Glial cells are the most abundant cells in the human brain and have long been considered as passive supporting cells for neurons. In contrast to the extensive studies on various neuronal functions in the nervous system, we still have limited knowledge about glial cells. Recently a number of pion...
In the central nervous system (CNS), glial cells are responsible for the local immune response and wound healing processes. Here, injuries similarly lead to the formation of scars, commonly referred to as ‘glial scars’. However, these ‘glial scars’ are comprised not only of glial cells, ...
We assume that they correspond to the perineurial cells on the basis of their location. The light cells must correspond to the periaxonal cells. Some characteristics of the axons such as their organization, ensheathment and subcellular structures are also described. 展开 ...
